RE: Emergent Properties

Thanks so much for dropping by! As for the mysteriousness, or not, of life, science is still debating if, for example, a virus is alive or not. It seems that there could be a gradient from non-life to fully self-conscious life, where rocks are most probably at the bottom of that gradient, and we are at, or somewhere near the top, with viruses somewhere between rocks and single celled life-forms... Anyhow, there's still not one all-encompassing definition of life, there are several, most describing life not as a thing, but as a process.
